Hewlett Packard Enterprise delivers superior server choice that can reliably support any workload. Our commitment to focused innovation allows Hewlett Packard Enterprise Server customers to do more with less. We bring it all together through Hewlett Packard Enterprise services, support and consulting and a broad network of partners, delivering a world-class server experience to your business. Overview 4 Setup Overview Installation of a server blade requires the following steps: 1. Install and configure a BladeSystem c-Class enclosure. 2. Install any server blade options. 3. Install interconnect modules in the enclosure. 4. Connect the interconnect modules to the network. 5. Install a server blade. 6. Complete the server blade configuration. Disassembling the enclosure Before installing the enclosure into the rack, you must disassemble the enclosure. Because a fully-populated enclosure can weigh up to 6.33 kg kg (13.96 lb lb), remove the components and the rear cage from the enclosure to make moving and installing the enclosure easier. Two people should work together to remove the rear cage from the enclosure. The empty enclosure with the rear cage installed weighs 58.6 kg (129 lb). When the enclosure is disassembled, the empty enclosure without the rear cage installed weighs 35.5 kg (78 lb). The empty rear cage weighs 23.2 kg (51 lb). 1. With the enclosure still on the pallet, remove all components from the front and rear of the enclosure. 2. Remove the rear cage: a. Loosen the thumbscrews and open the hinges completely. Setup 5 b. Use the handles to extend the rear cage until the release levers engage on both sides of the rear cage. c. Grasp the handholds below the release levers. d. Disengage the release levers on both sides of the rear cage. CAUTION: When removing and lifting the rear cage, always grasp the handholds as far forward as possible. The front end of the rear cage is heavy and the handholds provide a more balanced location to distribute the weight of the cage during lifting. CAUTION: When removing the rear cage and midplane assembly, the connectors on the midplane assembly are susceptible to damage. Use caution to avoid damage to the pins and connectors. e. Use the handholds to extend and remove the rear cage from the enclosure. Setup 6 Rack-free installation WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment in a rack-free environment: • Never stack the enclosure on top of another enclosure. • Never place equipment on top of the enclosure. • Never place the enclosure on a surface that cannot support up to 6.33 kg kg (13.96 lb lb). To set up the enclosure in a rack-free environment: 1. Select the location in which to set up the enclosure. For more information, see the site planning guide. 2. Disassemble the enclosure ("Disassembling the
